I live in Perth and go along to the odd Saints game as well as my season ticket at Hearts, as my lad gets the odd free ticket via his football team.
I personally think MacLean is a very underrated player. Of course his age is the main issue, but the way he plays the game means pace, etc. have never been a strength anyway. We is a proper wiley old fox, and I personally would be delighted to have him on our books as a 2nd/3rd choice backup. Clearly he will not be 1st choice, so his influence is what we want around the young lads.
I see the comments about Daly/Kirk but I don't think we can underestimate the difference it makes for the young lads to train/play alongside experienced pros like Hughes/MacLean/Berra rather than just be coached by ex-pros. To see they way they keep themselves in top condition and learn from what they actually do instead of just what they tell you to do is surely far more beneficial to their development.
Last point on MacLean, and apologies for the language, but he is also a proper bastard. We need that! I bet there isn't a defender in the league who doesn't think he's an utter prick. He noises everyone up and does a lot 'off camera'. Last season at McDiarmid with my lad I watched Saints vs Partick and saw MacLean punch Tomas Cerny full power in the stomach when giving the ball back for a goal-kick. Totally unseen by the linesman or ref, but he then gave a fist pump and wry smile to the Saints fans. We need that in our squad for sure!
Just my opinion of course 😁

I don't really understand why anyone has an issue with this. He scores goals, he won't be a first pick unless of course China comes up again for lafferty. He will be a good role model for kids. I'm fine with his signing.

I've always liked shotgun. But the Sevco supporters at work insist he is past it. I would rather have Mitchell for another season.

Davison is a good player but he has had a lot of serious injuries. Not sure about him.

What I am liking about all the speculation about players we may be talking to is that they are all familiar with the Scottish game. Not like most of the 3rd rate foreigners we have been signing.

Fecking spot on Bobby. We need players who are up to speed with the rigorous Scottish game. Let's be honest, it's no silky fitba, unless you are smeltic as they showed today, mind you against a totally pish Sevco ( I loved typing that). However, if we can get some "battlers" in midfield I think we could have a decent chance of doing ok.
